Aerospace & Defence


The business case of software engineering and services in the environment of personal injury prevention is of high relevance, because the damage to the company’s image in the event of a harmful event is usually more serious than the corresponding development costs for the prevention.
Proway offers approaches and solutions that provide both safety and innovation, as shown by the fact that many customers from security-critical sectors have a long-standing trust in the competence engineering services and the function of Proway’s products.

Use case engineering for security-critical systems and sensors

Systems engineering services are another important business case for Proway. Proway has focused for years on safety-critical environments such as environmental/hazardous materials, energy supply, aerospace, military and healthcare. Especially in the field of sensors, Proway has a lot of experience with security critical systems and components. Qualified systems, electronic and mechanical engineers from Proway are used for this.

They perform tasks to analyze systems and coordinate work groups both internally and externally across company boundaries, ensure strict security requirements (standards) to customers and secondary affected groups and ensure that these are met, improved, verified and documented. They ensure a secure and innovative design, a correct data integration (middleware), protection against failures with buffers and testing of the required properties using suitable test systems.

This enables effective protection from personal and material harm on the earth, in the air or in the water, in war and in peace within the environment of security-critical systems and sensors through the proactive Proway extended engineering services.

Use case spacecraft missions

The success of space missions also depends on the robustness of the power supply. The corresponding power unit must be able to perform and withstand a lot (vibrations, heat, radiation, …). It must have been consistently tested under stress before rocket launch to ensure that compromiseless reliability is guaranteed under all loads during launch and for many years in space conditions.

Test systems in aerospace based on Gamma VI as middleware can communicate with the power units of aerospace products in a variety of ways and with long-term stability via corresponding bus protocols. Proven Gamma VI applications control the long-term test processes under real-time conditions via Python test scripts or Matlab simulations and contribute to the success of space missions.
